Less than 100 words on why you should buy this local record...





The Hillbilly Gypsies
One Foot in the Gravy



  • The Hillbilly Gypsies are a spectacle to behold live, however, they can‘t all fit in your car. This CD can.
  • You need some banjo in your life (and some fiddle too, come to think of it).
  • “West Virginia My Home” … and it’s your home too. Show some respect.
  • It’s twenty tracks deep, that’s what my grandma would call “bang for your buck”.
  • Two songs about chickens.
  • If you’re down with bluegrass, this CD is your thing.
  • If you’re not down with bluegrass it’s a damn good place to start.



This CD is availaible at your finer local record stores and online at thehillbillygypsies.com
